Answer 1

The line is y=1x+8

Explanation:

We can use point-slope form of a line to make an equation. Point-slope form is as follows:

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

**The variables y₁ and x₁ are where we will plug in our given coordinates and the variable m is your slope.

1. Plug in the given info:

y-10=1(x-2)

2. Distribute the 1:

y-10=1x-2

3. Add 10 to both sides:

y=1x+8
